Powered by the 3PS Migration Engine

The lowest-cost way off IBM AIX: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.

Automated discovery
Your IBM AIX estate mapped — workloads, dependencies, licensing — before day one
Conversion tooling
Schema, config and workload translation to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), automated where it's safe
Parity validation
Side-by-side testing proves Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) matches production before cutover
Runbook cutover
Rehearsed, reversible, scheduled in your maintenance window
6–12 months
Typical migration timeline, using 3-5 senior engineers
$150K–$1.2M
Fixed-scope project budget for your AIX to RHEL migration
40–70%
Savings on legacy AIX support during the planning phase

How we support IBM AIX → Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) after migration

  • Fixed-scope project — no surprise costs or timeline creep
  • Senior platform engineers handle your entire migration
  • 40-70% savings vs. vendor support on legacy AIX during planning
  • 24/7 US-based support throughout the transition
  • Post-migration managed RHEL administration and patching

Custom C/C++ Code on Old XL C Compilers

Your custom C/C++ source code compiled with IBM XL C compilers needs careful recompilation. Our engineers handle the translation to open-source GCC on RHEL, preserving all logic.

Deeply Nested Korn Shell (ksh) Scripts

AIX-specific flags in your Korn Shell scripts break on RHEL. We systematically audit, rewrite, and test every script to ensure identical behavior.

AIX SMIT and PowerHA (HACMP) Dependencies

Proprietary AIX SMIT automation and PowerHA clustering scripts don't transfer directly. We port them to RHEL equivalents (Ansible, Pacemaker) without downtime.

IBM AIX → Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) migration — your questions answered

If my vendor renewal lapses mid-migration, can I still run my AIX environment?+

Yes. Our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on AIX while you continue the move. It does not include vendor patches, but it lets you avoid paying a full renewal just to buy migration time.

How do you handle custom C/C++ code compiled with IBM XL C compilers?+

We recompile the source code using GCC on RHEL. Our senior engineers resolve API differences, compiler-flags mismatches, and ensure the application runs identically.

What triggers most AIX to RHEL migrations?+

Common triggers include IBM Power hardware lease expiration, forced software maintenance renewals, datacenter exit mandates, and a shortage of legacy AIX administration skills in-house.

Do you provide support after the migration to RHEL?+

Yes. We offer managed RHEL platform administration, operating system patching, and cloud/virtualization support to keep your new environment running smoothly.
